Emergency Ride to Campus (ERC) Program
The Emergency Ride to Campus (ERC) program provides students who regularly carpool, bike, walk, or take transit a limited number of free emergency rides back to campus if those transportation options are unavailable. (Three per semester for freshmen, one per semester for all other students)
Med Cab Program
The Med Cab program allows students without access to, or who are unable to use a vehicle, a free taxi ride to a designated medical facility for appointments or emergencies, or to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription or other medical supplies. The Med Cab program is available for medical emergencies when no transportation options (biking, walking, carpooling, or taking transit) are feasible. Contact University Police at 828.232.5000, Student Health Services at 828.251.6520, or the Counseling Center at 828.251.6517 – one of these offices must call for the Med Cab taxi and authorize its use.
